Day 26: Pancake Addiction

Woke up this morning excited for the third and final trip I might ever take to Ueno. At least it is a pretty cool place so I didn't mind going back so many times.

We headed out pretty early but I stopped for a quick breakfast at our hotel cafe before we left. I ordered the "Hawaiian Cherry Blossom" pancakes and oh my god. These are the best pancakes I have ever tasted and quite possibly the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life. I don't think its the actual pancakes, but the syrup that is on them that tastes absolutely amazing. I am now obsessed and probably going to eat them at least once a day until we leave this place.


Now I can't wait to go to Hawaii someday. Anyways, after my nice breakfast we headed to the park to see my first Le Corbusier building in person, the National Museum of Western Art. As our teacher said "its not his best work, but still one of his." I was pretty excited at least. I could have cared less about most of that art but I really did enjoy the building. At least they finally let us take pictures inside!


It was a little bit disappointing because they didn't let us go upstairs into any of the lofts he designed, but could still see how the whole place was designed to be naturally lit, and his use of materiality. 


Luckily we made it through the morning without any rain, but we had our class today outdoors and it decided to just start pouring. So after the museum not much happened, just went out to dinner at a good noodle place and then stayed inside to keep dry!
